Copepod bloom

[Mike1978]

My tank is only 3 months old and I have 2 clowns and several softies and LPS. I recently added a reactor with chaeto in it. The light cycle for the reactor is on when my Dt lights are off. My water has looked cloudy ever since I hooked it up. I see lots of critters swimming and crawling around the glass of reactor. How do I know if it's a copepod bloom or something else? All parameters are good. All also changed salt mix to reef crystals around same time. 32 biocube. Thanks

Cloudiness could possibly be micro bubbles, maybe from reactor pump.

W/out knowing or seeing anything, I'd feel pretty safe betting you are seeing copepods, or some type of pods.

Thanks. I'll try to get a pic up. I'm sure it's not micro bubbles because when the pumps are shut off it seems that tiny particles just stay suspended. My fish and corals don't seem to mind but its annoying to me.
